Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Thinking I cannot send this little book out without recognizing my obligation to Prof. John Dewey for the large number of seed thoughts which have come from his lectures on Logic, Ethics, and Education. But the particular applica tions, developments, and formulations of these ideas, as well as the underlying movement of thought, are my own; and I alone must be subject to whatever criticism they may deserve on account of their defects. I am indebted for valuable sug gestions to my colleagues, President Charles mckenny and Professor Herman C. Henderson, of the Milwaukee State Normal School, and also to Professor W. W. Charters, phd, of the University of Missouri, who were kind enough to read my manuscript before its final revision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the core of the "Psychology of Reasoning" is a vigorous discussion that incorporates various illustrations--some of them humorous, all of them fascinating--of the use of reason under a wide variety of different conditions. Particular emphasis is placed on the difficulties involved in dealing with negatively marked information that must be combined and used with other information for reaching conclusions. Thorough treatment is given as well to the search for plausible contexts that will render anomalous or ambiguous statements "sensible."
Download or read book The Psychology of Reasoning written by W. B. Pillsbury and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Reasoning This little volume is based upon eight lectures given during my tenure of the Non-resident Lectureship in Psychology at Columbia University in January and February, 1909. The material has been somewhat rearranged and divided into chapters along more natural lines than was possible in the lectures. My purpose is to give a brief statement of the place of the logical processes, particularly judgment and inference, in the concrete individual consciousness. Confining my discussion to the facts of the individual consciousness has compelled me to omit in large measure a consideration of the social aspects of reasoning and of the results of the outcome of reasoning in action. This omission has not been due to any failure to appreciate the importance of these two sides of the reasoning process. Rather, Professor Baldwin and Professor Dewey have left little to be said on these topics. For my own immediate purpose, also, society and action are but two of the sources from which are drawn the materials of reasoning, and are but two of the influences that serve to affect the course of reasoning. My problem has been to determine the ways in which reasoning has grown out of the simpler mental operations, and to discuss the uses that have been made of the materials in reasoning, without reference to the sources from which the materials have been drawn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thinking, Feeling, Doing The greatest of psychologists, wundt, has written a series of lectures on psychology (lately translated into English), but the style and the matter are fully intelligible only to those who are already somewhat familiar with the science. No one else has produced a book explaining the methods and results of the new psychology. This is my reason for writing one. This is the first book on the new, or experimental, psychology written in the English language. That it has been written expressly for the people will, I hope, be taken as evidence of the attitude of the science in its desire to serve humanity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Thinking Process The present chapters are intended to furnish to students of elementary psychology a study of the thinking process. Nearly all of the present day textbooks in psychology either omit entirely a study of the thinking process, or treat it very inadequately, on the ground that logic is a separate science. Whether it is a separate science or not, a knowledge of logical processes is an essential element in the preparation of a teacher; and since few normal schools offer a separate course in logic, Whatever knowledge of logical processes is acquired must be obtained from the course in psychology.

Download or read book Hypothetical Thinking written by Jonathan St. B. T. Evans and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypothetical thought involves the imagination of possibilities and the exploration of their consequences by a process of mental simulation. In this Classic Edition, Jonathan St B T Evans’ presents his pioneering Hypothetical Thinking Theory; an integrated theoretical account of a wide range of psychological studies on hypothesis testing, reasoning, judgement and decision making. Hypothetical Thinking Theory is built on three key principles and implemented in a version of Evans' well-known heuristic–analytic theory of reasoning. The central claim of this book is that this theory can provide an integrated account of apparently diverse phenomena including confirmation bias in hypothesis testing, acceptance of fallacies in deductive reasoning, belief biases in reasoning and judgement, biases of statistical judgement and numerous characteristic findings in the study of decision making. Featuring a reflective and insightful new introduction to the book, this classic edition discusses contemporary theory on cognitive biases, human rationality and dual-process theories of higher cognition. It will be of great interest to researchers, post graduates as well as advanced undergraduate students.

Download or read book Cognition and Chance written by Raymond S. Nickerson and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004-06-24 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lack of ability to think probabilistically makes one prone to a variety of irrational fears and vulnerable to scams designed to exploit probabilistic naiveté, impairs decision making under uncertainty, facilitates the misinterpretation of statistical information, and precludes critical evaluation of likelihood claims. Cognition and Chance presents an overview of the information needed to avoid such pitfalls and to assess and respond to probabilistic situations in a rational way. Dr. Nickerson investigates such questions as how good individuals are at thinking probabilistically and how consistent their reasoning under uncertainty is with principles of mathematical statistics and probability theory. He reviews evidence that has been produced in researchers' attempts to investigate these and similar types of questions. Seven conceptual chapters address such topics as probability, chance, randomness, coincidences, inverse probability, paradoxes, dilemmas, and statistics. The remaining five chapters focus on empirical studies of individuals' abilities and limitations as probabilistic thinkers. Topics include estimation and prediction, perception of covariation, choice under uncertainty, and people as intuitive probabilists. Cognition and Chance is intended to appeal to researchers and students in the areas of probability, statistics, psychology, business, economics, decision theory, and social dilemmas.
Download or read book The Psychology of Conviction written by Joseph Jastrow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psychology of Conviction: A Study of Beliefs and Attitudes As a consequence, though we share a common order of reasoning and a common human nature, we reach very different conclusions, approach the same prob lems in different attitudes, with difierent inclinations. Yet equally are we affected by the beliefs of others. Conviction is a social process, follows the herd instincts. Tradition and convention bear heavily upon us, and determine what we believe almost as rigidly as what we eat or what we wear. We are in the stream and are borne along by the general current, and caught -in the eddies and tossed by the waves of our immediate sur rounding. Still we must each sink or swim by our indi vidual strokes of efiort and give them the direction of our purpose. We cannot escape the obligation of set ting a course, and in following it we show the impress of our psychology, the loyalty of our minds. The subject of this volume is concerned with the interaction of our logical and our psychological nature. It attempts to deal with the psychology of our most complex logical products. It follows the case method as the only pragmatic procedure, the only one that does justice to the rich content of a concrete issue. In the course of the analysis principles emerge and are em phasized; as in a trial at court, the judge and jury.
